Description

Steps to reproduce:

(couldn't find an appropriate component to file this under)

This bug is being moved from AIR. They say it's an SDK bug.

1. See the two attached files. One is an AIR app, and one is a Flex app, but the code is exactly the same except for the root application tag.
2. Run each, right-click on an item in the tree and see the context menu.

Actual Results:
The custom context menu appears in the Flex app but not in the AIR app.

Expected Results:

Workaround (if any):
I believe there is a workaround where instead of instantiating the context menu via binding, if its created and set directly in an event handler - the context menu will show up.
